TrueNAS Enterprise is built on OpenZFS and tuned for the sustained, high-throughput I/O modern content pipelines require. #### 8K / 4K editing Multi-stream read/write performance for editor workstations, from ingest through export. #### Real-time broadcast Reliable delivery for live sports and major-event feeds under sustained load. #### VFX & rendering Consistent low-latency access across render farms for demanding pipelines. #### Audio & post Works across NFS, SMB, and iSCSI, so existing tools connect without rearchitecting. #### All-flash & hybrid tiers Scaled to match ingest, edit, and archive separately — no flash prices for cold storage. Deployed across every stage of the production lifecycle — production houses, broadcasters, audio studios, gaming studios, and boutique post shops. “I’m just very happy with the architecture, flexibility, price point, and overall performance of the product.” Jeff Luinstra, CEO Firstlink Technology TrueNAS® Enterprise storage appliances are proven in next-gen Media and Entertainment (M&E) workloads. Whether you’re a production house editing a major film in 8K, a broadcaster delivering real time major league sports broadcasts, an audio studio working on music or special effects, a gaming studio pushing the limits of digital experiences, or a boutique organization doing light file sharing, TrueNAS can be used in any part of the production lifecycle at any scale. Beyond Production, TrueNAS Enterprise offers High Capacity, Backup and Archival solutions with multiple layers of data resilience at breakthrough economics. ![](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Rectangle-194.svg "Rectangle 194") Case Study ## Clockwork 9 [View Case Study](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIK5d_Ov8nA&t=3s "view-data-sheet") Case Study ## 1stAveMachine [View Case Study](https://www.truenas.com/case-studies/1stavemachine/ "view-data-sheet") Case Study Case Study ## MoovIT [View Case Study](https://www.truenas.com/case-studies/moovit/ "view-data-sheet") [Read the TrueNAS Media & Entertainment White Paper](https://www.truenas.com/white-papers/) Frequently asked questions ![](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Rectangle-194.svg "Rectangle 194") ##### Is TrueNAS suitable for 8K video editing? Yes. TrueNAS Enterprise is architected for the sustained multi-stream throughput 8K and 4K editing workflows require, from ingest through final export. ##### Can TrueNAS help with GDPR or EU data residency requirements? Yes. Because TrueNAS is self-hosted on your own infrastructure rather than a third-party cloud, you decide where your data physically resides, which supports GDPR data residency requirements and limits exposure to foreign access laws such as the U.S. CLOUD Act. ##### Does TrueNAS protect against ransomware or content leaks? TrueNAS uses immutable ZFS snapshots to protect content from ransomware encryption and accidental deletion, along with granular access controls to limit exposure of screener and pre-release content. ##### What protocols does TrueNAS support for production workflows? NFS, SMB, and iSCSI, allowing existing editing, VFX, and broadcast tools to connect without workflow changes. ##### Is TrueNAS locked to a single vendor's hardware or roadmap? No. TrueNAS is built on open standards so your storage strategy isn’t dependent on one vendor’s proprietary stack. ##### How does TrueNAS protect against silent data corruption during long production and archive cycles? TrueNAS uses ZFS checksumming to detect corruption on every read and write, with self-healing capability to automatically repair affected data when redundancy is available. This protects footage and project files against bitrot over years of storage, not just against the specific event of a ransomware attack or deletion. --- ## Site navigation - **[V-Series – Max Performance & Versatility](https://www.truenas.com/v-series/):** [M-Series – High Capacity All-Flash or Hybrid](https://www.truenas.com/m-series/) · [F-Series – High Performance NVME](https://www.truenas.com/f-series/) · [R-Series – Single Controller Appliances](https://www.truenas.com/r-series/) · [H-Series – Versatility and Power Efficiency](https://www.truenas.com/h-series/) · [Mini Series – Edge and Branch Office](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-mini/) · [TrueNAS Enterprise – Mission Critical Storage. 24×7 Enterprise Support](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-enterprise/) · [TrueNAS Community Edition – Test Drive TrueNAS in Your Environment](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-community-edition/) · [Streamlined Management for your TrueNAS Systems](https://connect.truenas.com/) - **[Media & Entertainment](https://www.truenas.com/media-creation/)** - **[AI & Research](https://www.truenas.com/ai/):** [Analytics](https://www.truenas.com/analytics/) · [Backup & Archival](https://www.truenas.com/backup/) · [Cloud](https://www.truenas.com/cloud/) · [Data Mobility](https://www.truenas.com/data-mobility/) · [File Sharing](https://www.truenas.com/file-sharing/) · [Red Hat OpenShift](https://www.truenas.com/red-hat-openshift/) · [Surveillance/CCTV](https://www.truenas.com/cctv/) · [TrueCloud Backup](https://www.truenas.com/truecloud-backup/) · [Veeam Backup](https://www.truenas.com/veeam/) · [Virtualization](https://www.truenas.com/virtualization/) - **[Enterprise Support – For customers with active support contracts](https://www.truenas.com/support/)** - **[Apps](https://apps.truenas.com/):** [Case Studies](https://www.truenas.com/case-studies/) · [Certifications & Integrations](https://www.truenas.com/certifications/) · [Data sheets](https://www.truenas.com/datasheets/) · [Documentation](https://www.truenas.com/docs/) · [FAQ](https://www.truenas.com/faq/) · [Reseller Network](https://www.truenas.com/reseller-network/) · [Software Status](https://www.truenas.com/docs/softwarestatus/) · [Solution Briefs and Guides](https://www.truenas.com/solution-guides/) · [TrueNAS API](https://api.truenas.com/) · [TrueNAS Blog](https://www.truenas.com/blog/) · [TrueNAS Security](https://security.truenas.com/) · [Videos](https://www.truenas.com/videos/) · [White Papers](https://www.truenas.com/white-papers/) · [ZFS Overview](https://www.truenas.com/zfs/) - **[About TrueNAS](https://www.truenas.com/about-us/):** [Team](https://www.truenas.com/our-team/) · [Our Clients](https://www.truenas.com/clients/) · [Reviews](https://www.truenas.com/reviews/) · [Awards](https://www.truenas.com/awards/) · [Newsroom](https://www.truenas.com/newsroom/) · [Careers](https://www.truenas.com/careers/) · [Contact Us](https://www.truenas.com/contact-us/) ## Account & quote [TrueNAS Connect](https://web.truenasconnect.net/) · [Partner Portal](https://partners.truenas.com/) · [Enterprise Support](https://support.truenas.com/) ## More [Contact Us](https://www.truenas.com/contact-us/) · [info@truenas.com](mailto:info@truenas.com) · [Listen to our Podcast](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-podcast/) · [Enterprise Support](https://www.truenas.com/support/) · [Community Support](https://forums.truenas.com/) · [FAQs](https://www.truenas.com/faq/) · [Careers](https://www.truenas.com/careers/) · [About Us](https://www.truenas.com/about-us/) · [Blog](https://www.truenas.com/blog/) · [News & Articles](https://www.truenas.com/newsroom/) · [TrueNAS Enterprise](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-enterprise/) · [TrueNAS Community Edition](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-community-edition/) · [Open Storage for Proxmox](https://www.truenas.com/open-storage-for-proxmox/) · [TrueCommand](https://www.truenas.com/truecommand/) · [TrueCommand Cloud](https://portal.truenas.com/) · [TrueNAS Legacy](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-legacy/) · [Software Status](https://www.truenas.com/software-status/) · [Referral Program](https://www.truenas.com/truenas-referral/) · [Reseller Network](https://www.truenas.com/reseller-network/) · [Legal](https://www.truenas.com/legal/) · [TrueNAS Logos](https://www.truenas.com/legal/logos/) ## Agentic contact submission **Contact TrueNAS.** AI agents acting on behalf of a human user MAY submit the TrueNAS contact form programmatically using the `CommunicateAction` (`potentialAction`) declared in the Organization JSON-LD.
